That is the Nokia N91....more
Latest reports indicate that the
Cabir virus has spread to cellphones in 20 countries.
Not to worry! ....why
If you are in the market for a
TV, wait. You may decide on a cell phone instead. That is the core of the
message being sent by some of the media centric cell phone producers, where
“TV friendly” is the latest convergence point.
It is expected that the sale of
smart phones in 2005 will more than double over the previous year. That is
from 23.5 million in 2004 to about 49 million in 2005.
Contrary to much popular myth,
you do not need a computer…just a high speed always-on Internet connection.

internet than on TV.The trend will continue.

Cellphone health hazard? Yes or
No
It
seems that almost every day some research company is coming out with a
report that either associates normal cell phone use with brain tumors and
the like or completely denies any such connection. When cell phone producers
sponsor these researches or not used to be an important indicator of how one
accepted the results of the conclusions reached
A recent survey by the
University of Michigan reveals
-
8
in 10 said cell phones are a major safety hazard if used while driving.
-
6 in 10 cell phone users say
that using a cell phone in public can be “a major irritation.”
-
4 in 10 said there should be a
law prohibiting people from talking on their cell phones in public
places. Read on...
About five years ago, when
Bluetooth technology first appeared it was seen as something “full of sound
and fury signifying nothing” – or very little.
A recent GMI Poll focussing on new personal technology
purchasing patterns revealed that new technology’s appeal is strong
worldwide.
In all countries, save the U.S., the PC has overtaken TV as
the one technology that people cannot live without.

internet radio is now available where you can access internet radio from
